When I enter my code into playground it work, but when I enter it into the exercise window it doesn't...Please Help

What's interesting is that in the previous exercise my code was getting rejected because I had a capital "G" versus the lowercase "g" in my interpolationGreeting constant. Don't know if thats the issue in this case or I did something else wrong.

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Jose."
let greeting = "Hi there,"
let interpolatedgreeting = "\(greeting) \(name)"
let finalGreeting = interpolatedgreeting + " " + "How are you?"

Close, but you were only supposed to interpolate name in the 2nd line, and you were supposed to concatenate in the 3rd:

let name = "Jose" //no period, just your name
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."  //interpolation, here's where you add the period
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"  //concatenation
